Of this, about 800,000 tonnes is for food use and the remainder is for industrial use, of which approximately 300,000 tonnes comes from palm kernel oil (Personal communication, 10 April 2008). This represents about 3% of global palm and palm kernel oil production in 2007 (42.4Mt).

There are 27.1 million hectares of peatlands in SE Asia, 83% of this is in Indonesia. 10.6 million hectares (39%) of peatland in SE Asia was deforested in 2000. Accounting for continued deforestation at a rate of 1.5%/year, the deforested peatland area in 2006 is around 45% of total peatland area, or 12.1 million hectares. 83% of 12.1 = 10 million of peatland deforested and degraded.
